Your S-Corp made a distribution to you.  On the books of the S-Corp it's recorded as a reduction of cash and a reduction of your capital account.  That will flow through the Schedule K-1 to you.

On your books you account for the cash paid to the IRS as a payment of estimated taxes and a reduction of your basis in the S-Corp.

In your income taxes you'll simply report that payment as a regularly-scheduled estimated tax payments, as that's all it was.

Thanks for the response. This is very helpful! To clarify,  I should deduct the amount on Line 12 Taxes and Licenses on 1120s and again on my 1040 personal return on Estimated Tax Payments for 2017?
